my garden
six years of seasons, one North Texas backyard
my garden
The garden that inspired Garden Best Friend
This is where it began. Everything I suggest to you, I tried here in my own yard first.
Six years ago it was an ordinary, honestly boring, backyard. Now it has garden rooms, winding paths, roses and herbs, and quiet corners to sit in.
It stays beautiful through every season because I planned it that way, on a teacher’s budget and schedule, one decision at a time.
